Quality
Very few companies in the Industrial sewing thread business have sustained over a long period due to inherent complexities of manufacturing & logistics involved. The credit of this goes to the consistency in quality we believe in and strong work ethics which has made us the prefered choice of most garment manufacturers silicones. We are an Okeo-tex, E- Confidence, Reach and ISO 9001:2000 compliant company. Stringent' is the predominant mindset, when it comes to Quality.
All our products are of high quality and are made using the best quality yarn finished to International specifications, top in the range dyes|chemicals|silicons & finish lubricants.
